Understand credits and payments

Read your balance

Available credits are ready to spend. Included monthly credits expire at the end of the month. Purchased credits carry over. Credits on hold are reserved for work in progress and are not available for another operation.

Usage this month shows charges after refunds. Credit activity records grants, charges, refunds, and expirations.

Approve a deployment

Your agent checks the plan and returns a quote. Applying credits approves that exact quote; it does not buy credits. The deployment reserves the required amount and settles or releases the hold when work finishes.

If the quote expires or the plan changes, review a fresh quote. Ask the agent to check an existing operation or payment before retrying so you do not approve a second action accidentally.

Purchase credits

Choose a credit purchase in the portal or ask your agent to prepare one. Review the pack and total, then complete the checkout. Credits are added only after payment succeeds. A pending checkout is not a credit balance.

Set spending limits

The monthly payment limit controls new purchases. Setting it to $0 still allows spending credits you already have.

The optional credit consumption limit counts usage before refunds plus active holds. Refunds return credits to your balance but do not restore this limit’s headroom.

Your agent needs billing permission and your explicit approval to change either limit.
